Top five

L

Please list your top five favourite snuffs, heres mine; 1) Fribourg & Treyer ‘Morlaix’ 2) Fribourg & Treyer ‘Old Paris’ 3) Samuel Gawith ‘Wild Duck’ 4) Samuel Gawith Black Coffee 5) Gawith Apricot (Poschl) I still have so many to try so i’m sure the list will change quite a few times!

B
  1. Spanish Jewel 2. Toque Natural 3. F&T High Dry Toast 4. DeKralingse Latakia 1860 5. McChrystals O&G Favorite five today…could be completely different tomorrow.
O
  1. Spanish Jewel 2. Levi Garrett 3. Bespoke Gin and Tonic 4. Square 5. High Toast Like BigSnoot said, Favorite five today…could be completely different tomorrow.
W

1.Wilson’s SP100 2.Toque Original 3.F&T Princes 4.Toque Vanilla 5.Wilson’s Brunswick

E

Far from easy to decide, so I’ll cheat! 1. Smith’s Golden Cardinal 2. Whichever SP I currently have in my SP box 3. Whichever Toast I currently have in my Toast box 4. Whichever Schmalzler I currently have in my Schmalzler box 5. Whichever Kendal Brown (or similar plain snuff) I currently have in that box I think that covers most of the bases!

L

Ermtony you shameful cheat! ;o)

T

It changes on a weekly even daily basis. But right now here are the top 5 I’m enjoying the most this week. 1. Levi Garrett 2. Tube Rose 3. Toque Original 4. Samuel Gawith Black Coffee 5. Wilsons Strawberry

S

For today… 1. F&T Morlaix 2. F&T Macouba 3. DeKralingse Latakia 1860 4. McC O&G 5. McC Anisette

B
  1. wilsons irish toast 22 2. poeschls loewenprise 3. mcchrystals highland ice 4. bernhards gekachelte virginie 5. toques toffee very likely to change…
B
  1. All day snuff is Tom Buck- I have no idea why I love it so damn much. Best SP is pretty good, too. Queens super strong is about the same but drier/finer. 2) Smoky after dinner snuff is Lakatia 1860- damn that stuff is special tasty! If I don’t have this on hand then Garrett Scotch is pretty good. 3) Nighttime snuff is Jockey Club or Royal George at night…helps me concentrate on a great book and I love to meditate on the flavors. 4) Favorite dry plain. Irish HDT I could pinch this all day as well. Nothing compares for me. It’s pure tobacco. Toque natural comes pretty close. 5) Well, I didn’t include a menthol…not really a menthol guy, but I like Packard’s club…just wish it was a little finer and drier…Lowenprise is pretty mellow for a menthol. Still looking for the perfect menthol snuff…suggestions? I don’t like one too strong like Hedges…For some reason McChristal O&G is too cold on the nose for me. I want a menthol that is medium fine, dryish, not too cold on the nose, no bite to it, and is subtle. I’m going to try President out? Cheating…if I really want a lot of nicotine, I’ll take Taxi Super Snuff…good for killing stress.
L

Perfect Menthol Snuff? Have you tried Wilsons of Sharrow S.M 500? Thats pretty strong

M

Well I’m new to snuff and only got my first batch of snuff a couple days ago, but since I have about 10 different varieties, most of which I’ve tried, I believe I can do a top five. 1) Gawith Hoggath Kendal Brown -I’ve probably used this the most 2) Wilson’s Rasberry -I use a very little quantity of this but I really enjoy the smell and feel of it in my nose 3)McChrystals O&G -just tried it, good stuff 4)Brutons -hard to use but has a serious kick and I love the smell 5)Gawith and Hoggarth Jockey club -not an all day snuff for me but I like the aroma

T

bryan, you might want to try Bespoke Stephan’s Tipple, Bespoke Gin & Tonic or Dholakia Sparrow Blue. Also Poschl Kloster Andecks is gentle menthol.

J

I’ll probably come back and look at this in 3 days and wonder what I was thinking, but today, I’d say; 1) Original and Genuine 2) de Kralingze Macuba 3) Wilson’s SM Blue 4) Tom Buck 5) de Kralingze Peppermint…no…Packard’s Club…no…Gletscherprise…Irish Coffee… Look, I just can’t narrow it down to 5. Maybe 10, I don’t know. Weird how I smoked exactly the same cigarettes of 30 years, but can’t be limited to 5 snuffs… Cheers, Java

L

Exactly, thats whats bizarre/interesting about snuff and snuffers - almost every person who has posted their top five has put a little disclaimer at the bottom of the post saying something along the lines of ‘the list will probably change soon’

T

Its just like food, you don’t want to eat the same thing over and over again. You want to mix it up to get more enjoyment out of it… And unlike smokes, your not just using snuff for the nic fix to calm the crave of your addiction. Your also getting enjoyment from the scent. And just like food, sometimes you enjoy one scent one minute and the next you want something else.

L

I suppose snuff taking is more comparable to wine drinking than smoking…

B

I just tried taking Garett Sweet in the mouth. The nicotine kick is too intense. I prefer the nose. Thanks for the suggestions. I will definitely try them out.

L

I’d like to submit my newest list; 1) Fribourg & Treyer French Carotte 2) Fribourg & Treyer Morlaix 3) Fribourg & Treyer Old Paris 4) Samuel Gawith Wild Duck 5) Fribourg & Treyer Princes The Wild Duck must feel outnumbered…there are 3 Fribourg & Treyer snuffs I have not tried yet so the list could change again!

J
  1. Taxi Blue 2. Spanish Jewel 3. Toque Chocolate 4. Old Paris 5. Seville … Aaargh! There! I did it.
L

Are you OK Juxtaposer…? I know its hard trying to narrow it down to 5! lol

B

Sorry, meant to answer…I just put enough to fill up my lower lip…started to feel pretty edgy after maybe 5 minutes or so…recognized that nicotine feeling- the same as I get after smoking some Irish Flake or Dark Kendall Flake too quickly- kind of a restless feeling. Good for waking up or doing something- but not comfortable for kicking back on the couch with a book! I’m surprised no one’s mentioned Lakatia 1860! That is really special stuff- especially after a meal. And Garett’s Scotch is becoming my all day snuff lately…it changes every day…the thing with snuff is it’s nearly impossible to have just ONE flavor that makes me content all day. I have to have at least 3 different ones each day!

B

Oh man… I had only tried Toque natural from the bullet so it didn’t really strike me as anything special. I just took a big pinch. What a difference. That is damn good snuff…I could probably use that all day very enjoyably. Good job to whoever’s making it…(I’d really thought everyone was just mentioning it as some kind of conspiracy to market it- but no…it really is very good!)

A
  1. Toque original 2. Wilsons Best SP 3. Tom Buck 4. FandT Irish 5. Royal George Bryan, the Toque thing just happened to individual members at different times, it’s just a sensational snuff and very unusual in the fact that Toque was the first new snuff company in about a hundred years or so in the UK. The bullets don’t do it any favours; I think they were introduced just to try and get a modern market appeal, but without the bullet and pinched from the tin the snuff is great

Looking back at my choices it becomes obvious that many other snuffs had become much more outstanding. A favorite pick would get bumped out monthly since. If I were to take a stab at the overall top five, it would be:

Spanish Jewel 

O&G

Black Rappee

Levi Garrett

Thuoc Lao

B

Dragun

The yellow six photo

Cheeta

and every other snuff I like is tied for number 4 spot.

P

I. Viking Dark- itches that itch just right

II. Dr.Rumneys Exclusive- i used this exclusively for about a year

III. Cheeta- pounding it up w/a straw is quite satisfying

IV. McCrystals Mild Lemon

V. JH 99 or 6 Photo 66 Medicated- they both have there strong suits, it very hard to choose.

I can’t even attempt a list yet, what about a top 50?

J

You would have to leave a few hundred out for a top 50.

M

Yeah, that would take a while!

Bernard Fichtennadel sounds like a swear to me.

J

Today’s Top 5: 1) De Kralingse Latakia Ao 1860. This is not Latakia, but Kentucky. I’m not complaining… I love Kentucky, it’s my favorite tobacco. 2) Viking Dark. The quintessential nic bomb, but also very tasty and smoky. It would be #1 were it a tad less sweet. 3) G&H Irish D. My favorite toast. 4) Taxi Red or NTSU Black, hmmm. Probably Taxi Red, doesn’t have the overbearing ammonia that NTSU Black has in spades. 5) G&H Kendal Brown or F&T Santo Domingo, hard to decide… I probably favor the G&H due to the finer grind and lighter scenting.

B

alright for reals this time 1/2Dragun tied with Gekachelter Virginie 3 Fubar Grunt 4 Wilsons Natural 5 Super Chetak.

At this moment: 1) Toque Original 2) WoS Grand Cairo 3) Abraxas Dragun 4) FUBAR Grunt 5) Toque SP Extra Oh, wait… Tom Buck… and Rose… and Best Dark… and Toque Raspberry… and uhm…

I cannot come up with a top five. Sorry. I have often thought about a top five for me but I just cannot do it. There are just too many great snuffs out there. I was recently asked about a top 10 and couldn’t do that either. But I think I could come up with a top 20, although it would be difficult.

B

@fredh how about top five of this hour? a top 5 of all time is impossible I agree

C

Top Five for Thursday May 7, 2015: 1. Rosinski Sans Souci 2. Rosinski Stargarder 3. Molens FCV 250 4. OM Alpine 5. HDT

J

currently based on cravings & usage: 1. OM Puro Dominicana 2. F&T HDT 3. SWS Roslein 4. OM Solstice 5. Sternecker Echt Fresco but then there’s like 25 others I’m messing with on a consistent basis…I could survive happily with just these 5 :(|)
